What is CMNGD?
CMNGD (COMMONGOOD) is a community aimed at ending poverty through social enterprise. Our first venture is CMNGD Linens; a linen laundry service for the hospitality industry, launching in Calgary.
Why?
We believe poverty can be solved through creative solutions that involve digging deeper into the issues that cause poverty; access to opportunity, living wage, affordable housing and mental health.
Our sustainable model will deliver employment mentorship, a real living wage and support to those at the edge of our society, who historically have had limited opportunities to make a living.
We believe that given the right environment, given belief and given the opportunity; people are able to break the cycle.
In partnership with local organizations and nonprofits, we will offer the often missing cog in the existing support programs: on the job training and a real world environment that is stable and safe.
